Layman's explanation: Desoxymethasone is a member of a class of compounds called corticosteroids. In general, corticosteroids are used to treat itching, swelling, redness, and allergies. Other nontraditional uses of corticosteroids are in immune suppression for organ transplant and cancer treatment in conjunction with chemotherapeutics. They are often delivered as inhalants and topical ointments or creams. Desoxymethasone is used as a topical agent for treating psoriasis and other corticosteroid responsive dermatoses, especially when low concentrations or doses are desirable.
